The toolchain is not compiled regularly for ARM. See #789

I built a working toolchain on a Pi2 (running Raspbian GNU/Linux 8, 4.19.25-v7+). Available for download here: http://files.deepsoft.com/Other/xtensa-esp32-elf-armv7l/xtensa-esp32-elf-armv7l-6c4433a-01092018.tar.bz2

Starting with GCC 8, PI is on the regular toolchain build :) so stay tuned for full official support

Ramanujam!
Is it OK now. Is the arduino IDE working for esp32 in RPi 3 ?

Any update on when this will be available for rpi3? There is no entry point for it in the Json file

When you see an ARM installer here, then it will be available. The toolchain is upstream.

Hello
same Problem with Raspberry 4 - hope there is a way to solve it.

@RobertPHeller thanks for your information.
the toolchain is done, but where excatly it have to stay in the Buster (Debian10) place?
also the esp32 Hardware - where on Debian 10 have to be copied?
have a nice day

Starting soon Espressif will build the toolchain for ARM just like for the other operating systems. For now you can use the following toolchain (which is not officially supported but seemed to work fine) https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux-armel-1.22.0-87-gb57bad3-5.2.0.tar.gz
follow the github install guide to get esp32 arduino on the pi, run get.py as per instructions, then download and decompress the archive to [parth-to-esp32-arduino]/tools/ and give it a go. Quite slow ;)

Hello everyone,
I encountered similar problems using the ESP32 with the Arduino IDE on a Pi 3 B+.

Can someone explain me the definition for toolchain, maybe I am mixing it up?
Is "toolchain" meant for the building process under the Arduino IDE or does it refer to setting up the system to get it working with the ESP hardware?
I was able to find a very useful video on youtube which I think was linked in another topic.
ESP32 - Development environment on PI
This might be also useful for other people reading this, so I will leave my question.
To answer my question: The toolchain is refering to the building chain, which provides the necessary tools to build the binary for the hardware.
There might be better explanations but feel free to add some information.

My current system is set up as follows:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with Raspbian 10 (buster)
  • Arduino IDE version 2:1.0.5 (installed via apt-get)

I used the installation instruction as given at /docs/arduino-ide/debian_ubuntu.md.
I didn't install pip because it was pre-installed on raspbian as well as pyserial.

But the ESP board does not show up in the Arduino IDE.
What am I missing?
Has something changed for the Arduino IDE, because there is also no Board-Manger showing up?
For me it seems the IDE cannot see the installed files, but this is just a guess.

@me-no-dev why do I need to additionally install the files mentioned in the link above? These files are already existing!?

Sorry there was no press release, but the ARM toolchain is now available. 5ad468f

As @lbernstone mentions above, boards manager can now be used on rPi as of 1.0.4 (current stable release)

Thank you guys for the quick replies!

I was able to install the current Arduino version via the tarball.
Also I could add the esp32 source for the board manager to install the arm boards.

Now I'm having problems to use the library installed via the esp32.
The Arduino environment detects two "WiFi.h" files.
Even if I delete the original WiFi directory contained in Arduino, the compiler stops because it found two libraries.
Other topics say that this error should be solved in the current Arduino IDE.
Any ideas?

Hi, I am getting a warring in build time. It is a version mismatch problem. But I did not find anywhere 1.22.0-80-g6c4433a version for ARM. Could you help me? Thank you

WARNING: Toolchain version is not supported: 1.22.0-87-gb57bad3
Expected to see version: 1.22.0-80-g6c4433a
